I found out a way to fix it. After exhaustive forum searching I acutally found the answer on a german Maya forum. I couldn't Google translated the page, but it still didnt make a lot of sense. The only thing I could understand is one guy suggested when you run Maya to open the task manager, right click on Maya.exe, click affinity. I've never been in that menu before. It has a list of boxes from cpu 0 to cpu 24. Only cpu 0 and cpu 1 are selectable the rest are grayed out. Both were checked. If I uncheck one of them it seems to work fine. So anyways I fixed the problem, but I have no idea what it was I did .
